    Happy Hump Day, y’all!  It’s time to dive into March’s Boxycharm 🙂  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5-6 full-sized items for $21/month.  What I love about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the $21 price. March’s theme is Creepy Cute and comes with 5 products.

    Hiii dolls!  Today, I will be doing a quick First Impressions on the samples I received in my very first Pinch Me Sample Box.  Pinch Me is a free subscription where you receive samples from various brands, based on your online profile.  After testing out the samples, you are asked to honestly review the products and fill out a survey.  Shipping is free and new samples go live rather sporadically, so you just have to check in regularly as the popular samples are snapped up pretty quickly.  As I am new to the website, I am still familiarizing myself with how it works exactly.   I assume that the more you participate in providing…
